08-06-2016, 06:19 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); same as title, tried to change PSU, fan, HDD, and still no result at all.
Fan test works normally as usual.
I tried to take off the battery but still no luck.
same as the video here:


I turn my PS3 on, one beep, it turn off after 2 sec with no light on the board.


please help me this is the 2nd PS I fucked up :(

first of all, I was playing the last of us while my ps3 is out of the case (disassembled), all fine everything works perfectly no error or drop or heat at all.
then I decide to disassemble the PS3 and put in the case, so I shut down normally, and while I was assembly I put some force while screwing the thermal plate. After that, It's not working at all....
I fell like it's a fan issue

model: CECH-25xx

I tried to run using controller and same it runs 2 sec then off

usally when this happens its your psu or a damaged ribbon cable can be the problem. in my case its my ribbon cord, it legit has 1mm of contact left on each pin its a miracle i can still use it, but if i pull it apart i know it will not work cause i can move my cord even a little bit, but by the sounds of things its a compositor or something or possible ps3 is getting to much or not enough power, cant remember which way it works lol, without seeing it and i'm not much help. need to ask someone that can tell without checking it them self lol, thing about psu swapping is they have different input and outputs though with 2000 series its only small and i dont know if it matters, temperatures are biggest difference i've seen and there was a time that the issue was cause but the bored contacting the metal and pushing it down fixed it but thing about the those last gen consoles, expessally the older ones dignoing the issue can sometimes be the thing we least expect. sorry i couldn't be much help

lets add more info, my PS3 is on rebug 4.78 DEX and I don't think this related to my problem..
my dump are all good.
even though I have played for maybe 8 hours for 2 days while I'm on 4.78 DEX..


I tried to solder a wire to the PAO TRISATE in my MB and I did, and to check that I connect it to WLAN led, it shows green color so I guess my soldering is good?
After that, I connect it to a gnd but I still couldn't run the ps3. It keeps turn off after 1 or 3 sec..


One thing I remember is the minimum version I can reach is 3.56. Can it be the cause?

can anyone move it to ps3 mods support section? maybe I could find someone who will help me :(
